Code and work alongside helpful bots to bring power back to their star factory.
Here's an excerpt from Star Stuff's Steam description:
Star Stuff is deceptively cute programming puzzle game for curious minds of all kinds. Join Mija, a brand-new star engineer, as they take on over 150 mind-bending factory puzzles.
Looks cute, right? Making stars isn’t as easy as you might think, but you aren’t alone! Your work in the factory is supported by a variety of bots with many different capabilities. Some bots are able to lift heavy objects, and some can solve complex problems with lasers - which is a pretty enviable skill. Just make sure you keep your goggles on.
Once you’ve programmed your bots, join in on the manual labor fun! Unlike most automation and programming games, you have to work in sync with your bots from time to time. It’s a team effort here at the Star Stuff factory in order to get those stars made. If at first you don’t succeed, brush off that stardust and try, try again.
The star factory is extremely forgiving and you won’t even get fired. You can always reset, undo, and try puzzles over and over again. You can take breaks in this whimsical atmosphere with a stellar soundtrack. And remember, it’s only been 32,767 rotations since the last major incident. You can help maintain that record!
There’s a whole cosmic universe out there waiting to be built if you’re up for the challenge. Shine on!
